I know I posted here about going back to the activity when you had your cardiac event.
For me, back in June 19, was swimming. That cardiac arrest came out of the blue as I’d been swimming regularly for around 5 years by then.
Now I’m thinking that by going back swimming (half amount; 40 lengths in 30 minutes) I’m asking my heart to use (rebuild?) the parts of it which were damaged in the heart attack of September’19, which was brought on by the initial cardiac arrest.
I cannot imagine there’s much spare cells in my heart. Yet I’m told my heart is damaged due to lack of oxygen during the heart attack.
So is my heart trying to repair itself? Are the damaged cells trying to get back in the game? Am I pushing my luck by exercising (using all of my heart perhaps too much?), but then why do I not feel exhausted at the end of 30 minutes & 40 lengths?
I always feel good after exercise, I’m 3/4 for cardiac arrests since 2019. I don’t think the plumbing is broken but the wiring is dodgy?
Thanks.
